Revolutionizing Emergency Response Training: Lightning-Fast Onboarding
In today’s fast-paced world, businesses depend on efficient and proficient emergency response teams to guarantee the safety and well-being of their customers, members, constituents, and employees.

The Need for Speed in an Emergency Response
Imagine a scenario where a major event unfolds, and an emergency response team is urgently needed. Whether it’s a natural disaster, a medical emergency, or a security breach, time is of the essence. Companies cannot afford to subject their emergency response teams to weeks of training before they can be deployed effectively.
Recognizing this critical need, Etech, a leading BPO, embarked on a journey to redefine the training and onboarding process for emergency response agents. Their innovative approach involves leveraging existing call recordings to create ever-changing content for practice exercises. These exercises enable new hire agents not only to learn about the calls they will be handling within a few short hours but also to build the confidence and skills needed to handle almost any situation presented by customers requiring the highest level of empathy.
Simulated Role Play Exercises: The Key to Rapid Onboarding
The secret to Etech’s success lies in their pioneering use of simulated role-play exercises. Rather than relying solely on traditional classroom-style training, the company developed a highly immersive and practical approach to onboarding new agents.
Through a blend of SymTrain’s cutting-edge technology and Etech extensive industry expertise they created realistic, real-time emergency scenarios that allow trainees to step into the shoes of seasoned emergency response professionals within hours vs. days or weeks. These simulations can cover a wide range of emergency situations, from medical emergencies and natural disasters to security breaches and more. Trainees are presented with lifelike scenarios where they must make critical decisions and respond swiftly and effectively to changing circumstances.
Lightning-Fast Onboarding: Less Than One Day
The results speak for themselves. Thanks to Etech’s simulated role-play exercises, they can now train and onboard new agents in less than one day. Yes, one day. This remarkable achievement has enabled their clients to quickly bolster their emergency response teams with capable professionals, ensuring readiness for any crisis.
The accelerated onboarding process doesn’t compromise on quality or preparedness. In fact, trainees emerge from the program with practical experience and a deep understanding of how to handle various emergency situations. This not only saves valuable time but also increases the confidence and competence of the emergency response teams.
The Outcome: Winning a New Customers
One of the most impressive success stories of Etech’s approach involves a recent partnership with a prominent emergency response company that is required to onboard upwards of 1,800 agents with very little to no warning time. This company had been searching for a BPO partner capable of providing rapid onboarding for its emergency response agents. Traditional training methods were proving too slow for their needs, and they needed a solution that could match the urgency of their mission.
By combining the effectiveness of SymTrain’s simulated role-play exercises with Etech’s understanding of the contact center requirements this partner was convinced they found the perfect partner. The speed and realism of the training, combined with Etech’s track record of excellence, made the decision clear. They tested the emergency response capabilities on multiple occasions onboarding actual agents for a simulated emergency with simulations and achieved the outcomes proving these agents were ready to respond to any crisis quickly and effectively.
The Future of Training & Coaching
